Things I have learnt / need to find out.
1) I should have taken more photos as it is quite hard to fill in a 5 1/2 minute song with only about 20 songs.
2) To help with 1), I should be more pushy and get the subjects to spend some time with me to get some good shots.
3) There is a limitation in Adobe Premiere Elements that only allows resolution images of 5000px on the longest edge. I will need to investigate to see if the full version or After Effects also have that limitation. If they do not then I will need to investigate purchasing the more advanced products in the future as Elements is ok for now.
4) I am still to work out the best render method in Premiere Elements
5) I think the video capabilities of YouTube are better than Flickr (Flickr seem to corrupt my videos).

I am an absolute beginner when it comes to photograph, but I feel it is time to upgrade to a DSLR from my Panasonic DMC-FT1

After many weeks of reading up on the Canon EOS DSLR series camera's the decision came down to 3 camera's.

Canon EOS 55DCanon EOS 50DCanon EOS 7D

As is typical of me, I wanted a really good camera to start my journey into photography, so I ended up purchasing the Canon EOS 7D with a EF-S 15-85 IS USM Lens.

I decided on the 7D as I wanted the ability to record video and that left me with the choice of the 550D or the double the price 7D. When I went to TED's camera's on pitt street and spent some time playing and getting to feel the 2 cameras it was an easy choice to go with the 7D. I ended up purchasing it from JB Hifi as they did me the best deal.
